Fiscal analysis of establishment of a double-balloon enteroscopy program and reimbursement.

Background & Aims: As double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) programs continue to be established, further research is needed to assess their financial impact. We evaluated actual financial outcomes and compared them with estimated return on investment (ROI) projections for DBE.

Methods: We retrospectively compared the predicted and actual financial results for outpatients referred for DBE at an academic tertiary referral center.
